Why We Need to Rethink Disability

People keep in mind. Every disability isn’t always visible.

this isnt ttue at all just the opposite we act as if disabled peolle can do everything non disabled people can do its its simply not true

Used to be some poor guy missing a leg.. now it’s just being a liberal

I was lucky enough to get my disability the first time I applied I've got degenerative disc disease I've had 2 neck surgeries most of my neck is titanium and need another one 2 lower back surgeries I'm in constant pain due to chronic injuries that can't be fixed I'd give anything if I could work but physically can't I struggle everyday on the little money I get and it is very depressing

I cannot even stand long without my legs feeling like that gone give out. My back hurts bad daily. Headaches . I sleep a lot because of my nerve medication. I would just be dead weight to a 9.5. I cannot even walk fast. But when I was not disabled I did everything and never had any complaints. Now it’s like I cannot even clean my table right.

I would love to go back to work but once a future employer finds out I am 67 with Parkinson's And heart disease there's suddenly no openings

Thousands of illegals and their Anchor Babies are getting disability benefits because they claimed the anchor baby is autistic or ADHD!!

I wish the government could give disabled people who can work a few hours a day more income and have fewer restrictions on how much they can earn. I'd give anything to work longer hours or less for something to do. However, the government says, "Nope, you can only work 18 hours a week average." I can't work full time because of my body giving out, but for Christ's sake, I need to be able to live.

I think we should leave the sick folks alone and mind our business.! Do u understand the hassle of even getting into the SSA SYSTEM?? Trust me no one needs more bs.! It took lawyers or plain to see physical issues beyond needing verification just to get a check that don’t pay their bills .! Let’s leave sick folks alone!.💯🙌🤠😎

my body started falling apart in 2003. By 2007, I could no longer work. I tried different careers, but my disability just kept getting worse each year. I have fibromyalgia, chronic pain, hemiplegic migraines, deteriorating lower back discs, osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue, tmj, etc. There are days that I can't even make it out of my PJs. I got my MQ in neuroscience, and 2 years later, I could no longer do my job in my career. I was devastated! I was only in my mid 30s, and people judged me like crazy. No one can see inside you, or feel what you feel. But,, when you are around chronic pain people, you get to read that look. You can tell when someone is suffering even if you never met them.
